Hi everyone,

I thought my tears have dried by now...but reading all your posts made me cry again, bcos I can sense your sincerity.
It is so hard to take...but I never blamed my son one single bit.
He has worked very very hard.
Thank you.

Hug! PSLE is just a small parts of our kids life.

Last time, My 2nd sister get the lowest psle t-score compared to my 3rd sister and me. Now, she has a 2nd class honour degree from NTU. my 3rd sis is a diploma holder and I just have olevel.

So PSLE score don't mean anything!

Hi Janet,


I shared the same feeling as you.
My son took PSLE last year. Both of us were looking at 245 score so that he can go to a school which is just walking distance from my home. We both worked hard together since June till PSLE. Toil together mother and son. Through tough times when there were so many tough maths qns. through happy times when we laughed it out. We had high hopes... V V high hopes. When he first saw his results slip, he shook his head. When he showed me, I had the same feeling as what you felt now. I really could not take the results-218. It hit me hard.... Really really need some time to compose myself...

Now... my son is in sec1... happy boy. but looking back, i think the time i spent with him together(taking so many days of leave just to coach, teach, accompany him, cook his fav food, etc.), those were the times as parent, I went through the first major milestone of my son's life with him. Looking back now, I am still v happy. Though I still feel that little bit of pain... What I told him now is... 1) this is but your first milestone in life.... there is a 2nd... that is 'O' levels... Told him he had to work hard for himself... boys need to fall in order to climb higher mountains...2) as parent-after going through my eldest son's first psle, i really really realise this...our role is not to let our kids fulfill our dreams... our role is to maximise his potential.
:snuggles:
hope by sharing this with you, it helps. next year this time, psle will be history for him. as him to cast a good 'o' levels history for himself. :rahrah: look forward to the next milestone of his life.

33mama, Well said! :goodpost:

Hi,

I need some advice. DS got 250+1.
Would this be enough for an IP programme? Any school to recommend?

It seems 250+1 is good enough for many good schools e.g. SJI, VS, CHS, ACS(I) under the O-level track, but falls short of the cut-off point for IP programme A-Level track. So near, yet so far........

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

From a concerned dad.

perhaps u can try first choice IP programme of a secondary school then the second choice is the O level programme of the same secondary school, in this way if the child does not get the IP programme, the child can still go to the same dual programme secondary school and try again at the end of sec 2 for admission into sec 3 IP.

Got this info fm ATS :


Appeal for Review of Results

• All appeals for review of results must
be made through the School (general
office) before 1200 hr on 29 November
2012 (Thursday)

• Appeal Fee of S$48.15 per subject
(inclusive of GST).

• The school will be informed of the
outcome of the appeal(s) by 13
December 2012 (Thursday).

Hope some parent will find it useful. I agree it is best to do it under the radar so as not to give the child false hopes. They don’t need to be crushed twice.

Think you all are mistaken, 272 is the T-score for his dd's 2011 & 2012 PSLE, combined.

Anyway if EQ has a number like IQ, this fellow's number will be like his shoes size.

Will it be easier to gain admission to the IP in School A if you were from the O level track of School A, than if you were from School B?

That is, is there any advantage of being in the O level track of a dual-track school?

GLORYmum:

Hi Janet,

I rem your ds was sick during psle, any help to appeal under this consideration ?
I rem reading somewhere on ksp that moe may take this into consideration.
U hv been a tireless mom and worked hard for your Dc.
Do not get disheartened by today result, boys generally mature later than girls.
We are behind you, pls write here if this help you sooth the pain for now.


And for only272, you are a disgrace be you a parent or child. U hv the choice to resit psle and get the 28x or 29x you need. This forum is not suitable for you cos you do not offer encouragement, support, and there is no constructive information from you.
Furious to see you rub salt in janet. Waste of our time commenting on your selfish act.

I don't have a child that's doing PSLE this year... but I would like to join GLORYmum to put across my thoughts for member only272.... We are deeply disappointed by your comments replied to member Janet_Lee.

My sympathy to you, member only272.
